 "Click to view larger image")
STRENGTH AND HONOR tells the story of an Irish-American boxer, Sean Kelleher (Michael Madsen), who accidentally kills his friend in the ring and promises his wife that he will never box again. However, years later, when he discovers that his only son is dying of the same hereditary heart disorder which has taken his wife, he is forced to break his promise in order to raise the substantial funds needed for the surgery that could save his son’s life.
STRENGTH AND HONOR is a human drama of love and friendship, sacrifice and devotion, set against the violent underground world of bare-knuckle boxing.
The film stars Michael Madsen (RESERVOIR DOGS, KILL BILL: VOLUME 1), Vinnie Jones (SNATCH, X-MEN: THE LAST STAND), Patrick Bergin (SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY, PATRIOT GAMES) and Richard Chamberlain (“The Thorn Birds,” “Shogun”).
Screenwriter Mark Mahon makes his directorial debut with a film that questions people’s prejudices against other communities and how fate can play a part in one’s life, no matter how much you try to change it.

This was the best film i've ever seen. it was so emotional, but i enjoyed watching the bear knuckle boxing. the fact that it was set in cork made it even better..it made me feel at home again as i live in wales. it's a must see, and i can't wait until it is released on dvd. 10 out 10 no doubt about it.
